Kuga u gornjovrbaškom kraju od 1814. do 1817.

Jedna od najstrašnijih pošasti koja je ikada zadesila područje uz gornji Vrbas (Uskoplje) u srednjoj Bosni bila je kuga, što je harala od ljeta 1814. do jeseni 1817. g. Katoličke žrtve upisane su u Matičnu knjigu umrlih Skopaljske župe (Parochia Skopjensis). U vrijeme ove epidemije katolici su živjeli u 66 uskopaljskih naselja, najvećim dijelom izmiješani s islamiziranim i pravoslavnim pučanstvom, o čijim žrtvama nema podataka. U tom razdoblju preminulo je 42, 5 % katolika, pa se pretpostavlja da su i žrtve nekatolika bile zastrašujuće. U ovom su prilogu žrtve sistematizirane abecednim redom po mjestima gdje su živjele, na način da su članovi iste obitelji pridruženi jedni drugima bez obzira koje su godine preminuli.

Bosna i Hercegovina, Uskoplje, katolici, kuga 1814. – 1817.

One of the most terrible diseases to hit the area along the river Vrbas headwaters (Uskoplje) in central Bosnia is known as plague. It began during the summer 1814 and ended in autumn 1817. During the plague, Catholics as well as followers of Islam and Orthodox faith, lived together in sixty six settlements along the Vrbas river. Due to the plague, 42.5% of the Catholic population lost their lives. Even though the death rate among other populations is not known, it is evident that they also suffered the same devastating fate. Catholic victims' names were registered in the Skoplje parochial registers of the deceased (Parochia Skopjensis). The author systematized the victims in alphabetical order in Croatian according to the place where they lived as well as the joining members of the same family, no matter when they passed away.
